OLYMPIC CAMBERED BENCH PRESS BAR - 18KG By providing an extra range of movement beyond what is possible with a straight bar, the Olympic Cambered Bench Press Bar introduces a new level of intensity to your exercises. The cambered design creates an unstable load, challenging your control and pressing power far more than traditional straight bars. This makes it an excellent bench press accessory and an effective hypertrophy tool for building a strong chest. The Cambered Bench Press Bar can also add an interesting twist to squats. The unique shape and the forward shift in the bar's centre of gravity require a tighter form in the squat's bottom position. By regularly training with a cambered bar, you can improve your core strength and stability in the squat.
